Velodrome was good. [stuff]

Took off to the Herne Hill Velodrome track this morning and the ride there was nice.. nice up hills, and nice down hills.

Picture 27 by you.

A: home. B: Herne Hill Velodrome Track. Didn't took too long to get there, but a lot of climbing up and kicking back on downhills so that was the warm up really. Once there, took picZ:

Went through the basic induction section which was most needed for my first time riding on track,,, YES, it was my very first time riding my track frame, on an actual velodrome track! went through a bit of briefing.. and then those who aint got track bikes with down handlebar and no brakes cant go in, so friend had to borrow one while mine went swiftly through.. Take me to the bikes!

There were like about 8 containers full of track bikes including a workshop in one of em.. Most of the vintage frames that i saw were Harry Perrys and Harry Os.. the modern ones were mostly Fuji, Kona and loads more! I just wanted take one and act like its mine.. hehehehe but how am I supposed to take 2 track bikes from south east back home???

and then the track..

if youre asking for pictures on the track then i think you might be asking for too much.. But in conclusion the ride was fantastic! not doing anything else but pedal!

then, we unintendedly crashed into and went to see Banksy's Please Love me exhibition @ Covent Garden:
